Опубликовано: 1 мар. 2015 г.For the 14th darkstep session, I decided to make a special mix of Katharsys, one of my favorite darkstep duo. They introduced me to the darker side of drum and bass. This mix contains most of their songs (a few are missing) and they are NOT in order of date/release. I completly made it all by myself and used my imagination for the transitions and combos/double drop. There are also alot of edits, especially at the intros. Enjoy you all. Comments are appreciated! Tracklist at the bottom.
''Katharsys began in 2001 when Hugo and Tom, start producing their first drum and bass tracks, inspired by the dark grooves and demented beats of artists such as Tech Itch, Dylan, Kemal, Konflict, Photek and Ice Minus to name just a few. After countless hours of waveshaping and savage beat processing, the duo were ready to begin releasing in 2004. Katharsys, from the ancient greek word «catharsys» meaning the emotional cleansing of the audience in relation to drama, is an extreme change in emotion. The main focus of the duo is to create intense sounds which evoked that kind of extreme changes, into electronic music. Producing from darkstep to neurofunk hard drum&bass, Katharsys has reached different labels, such as Habit (US),Guerilla (US), Barcode (UK), Sinuous (UK), and Obscene (UK), and have progressed to playing their hard as balls sets out to fans around Europe.
Katharsys's tunes appear on many dj mixes from Counterstrike, Donny, Dylan, Cooh, Evol Intent, Audio, Dj Hidden, Nanotek, Dean Rodell and Forbidden Society.''

KATHARSYS LIVE @ THERAPY BRISTOL HELL-O-WEEN SPECIAL
Опубликовано: 22 нояб. 2013 г.Sorry for no videos the past 2 days or whatever, I installed some new hardware in my PC and had to get it working with Sony Vegas. Anyway, this mix was uploaded to the Therapy Sessions Recordings Soundcloud. No tracklist but heavy mix nonetheless. I also recently got a request to start putting the pic link in the description so I'll start doing that. Download below (also pic link):
Alex Paterson and Tom Midleton — Thursday Tea Time on Groovetech Radio (2002-06-13)
Опубликовано: 23 мая 2015 г.Alex Paterson and Tom Middleton on Groovetech Radio in 2002.
Thursday Tea Time Show
Alex Paterson
Paterson had worked as a roadie for Killing Joke during the '80s, and began to be influenced by the explosion of Chicago house music in England during the mid-to-late-'80s. He joined the A&R department of E.G. Records Ltd. Records — the home of Brian Eno himself — and first recorded as the Orb with Jimmy Cauty. The duo's first release as the Orb, the failed acid-house anthem «Tripping on Sunshine», appeared on the 1988 compilation album Eternity Project One.
Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty had been recording an album during the turn of 1989-90, but the two split in April 1990 — a result of Paterson's fear that the Orb had become known more as a KLF, The side-project than an original act. Cauty stripped Paterson's contribution to the recordings and released the eponymous album — credited simply as Space — later that year.
The Orb released several albums trough the '90s, including The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions (which were only available for one day but still managed to place in the Top 50) and Orblivion.

History
A classically-trained pianist and cellist from Cornwall, he met Richard D James (The Aphex Twin) in 1989. Learned the science of sound sampling and synth programming by observing Richard in the studio. This friendship lead to Tom co-producing a track for the 'Analogue Bubblebath' EP as Schizophrenia, which has now reached cult status. Tom introduced Richard to Mighty Force Records and helped broker the record deal for the EP.
After graduating in Graphic Design in 1991, Tom met Mark Pritchard, a Producer/DJ with similar musical tastes. The pair set up the Evolution Records imprint (which later became Universal Language Productions Ltd and the final incarnation as E3.)
They recorded under an number pseudonyms, from Reload (Techno and IDM), Global Communication (Electronica and Ambient) — notably developing the principal of integrating pure emotions in sound, Secret Ingredients (Deep House), and one of the most popular projects; Jedi Knights (Electro Boogie, P-Funk, Breakbeats, House), whose album 'New School Science' notably inspired the likes of The Prodigy (who sampled Jedi Knights 'Air Drums From Outer Bongolia' for their track 'Climbatize') and The Chemical Brothers to Daft Punk, The Freestylers and Adam Freeland.
Tom hosted a weekly Radio show on Kiss FM, tutored the winning aspiring DJ Ryan Shaw on ITV's Joy Of Decks TV show and has curated events and Festival spaces including Sound Of The Cosmos at The Big Chill 2011.
